"Mistress, can we stop for a moment. I feel like am spinning" Shailyn complained, falling on the ground with a thud, in a sitting position, legs immediately folded as she slowly patted her toes beneath her shoes, whining and whimpering on how sore her legs felt.
Skylar halted on her step, walking back to Shailyn, she placed her hand on the fairy's shoulder, displaying a concerned face. "Are you okay?"
Shailyn glanced up with a glint. "You seem to shirk am not a wolf, am a fairy and we fairies get fatigued when we saunter for twelve hours straight" she pouted, Skylar cackled before taking her bag pack off her shoulders as she dropped beside the fairy, placing the bag beside her.
Skylar stared around the forest, the ruins and remains of Galveston, she glanced up at the sky, noticing how the sun was once again setting. She sighed and looked back at Shailyn. "How long has it been since we left the pack"
"Are you okay up there?" Skylar yelled out to Shailyn, on her back, having a wonderful time of her life, being piggybacked."What do you think, keep moving" Shailyn instructed, hitting her leg over Skylar's butt, making the she-wolf gasp."You shameless thing!"Shailyn wheezed. "Whatever you say pup!" Her head glanced up and she gasped, hitting Skylar on the shoulder. "Put me down!" She ordered and the She-wolf didn't waste any time on putting the fairy down.Shailyn went ahead, staring deeply into the forest ahead of her. It looked like a normal forest but when looked closer, she could see the wetlands, the colorless leaves, the creepy trees, and sounds. She stepped back. "We are here?"Skylar stared at her weirdly. "I don't see anything""You are not supposed to till you step into it. It's like a barrier, once you cross, there's no way back. It's either you
"Welcome to my humble home!" Dya squealed as she walked the girls into what she assumed was her home while the girls gazed around the space they were in, trying to make out anything extraordinary and making sure they were not seeing things before sharing a sharp glance at each other and couldn't help the titters that decamped their throats."You didn't tell me she was nuts!" Skylar held her stomach as she laughed, her vision being blinded by tears while their outburst filled the space, echoing."Trust me, I had no idea?" Shailyn answered, chuckling.The witch stared at them, placing her hands on both sides of her hips as she felt insulted. "I do not appreciate being ridiculed in my house, not even from you, your highness" her jaw hardened, glaring indignant daggers at the two girls.Skylar elected to overlook the part where she was addressed as nobility and stopped her laughter, the humor instantly s
"Being one the original witches created directly by the goddess, I was biased and exalted by the mother of all supernatural creatures. We cherished and acclaimed her name and she was happy with us. Till decades later, we began adding in numbers as we gave birth and spread in every corner of the earth, creating covens while we were made the council, our word was final. But that bliss was short-lived when children started going missing and we'll find them the next day hanged on the trees, weird marks, and patterns drawn on their bodies, whoever taking them was using them to strengthen their powers, becoming stronger. We were frightened and distrust sculptured in our midst, parents were more watchful of their children but that didn't stop the person from getting what he or she wanted, more children went missing from the every coven as the council, it was expected of us to put a stop to the madness, till my ten years old son went missing as well, I was frustrated and I wanted to find my
Shailyn ambled out from the bedroom, stretching her muscles and scrapping her neck, quailing for a moment when Skylar unforeseenly materialized before her. "Jeez, you gave me the jitters"Instead of bantering, Skylar glommed her hand away from her neck, where the mate mark was situated to find it candescent red, her gaze met Shailyn's droopy ones. "It's burning""It's hurt like it's sucking the life out from me and it was at its fullest last night, I passed out""We should talk to Dya about this, she might know something" Skylar deadpanned, letting go of Shailyn's hand."Talk to me about what?""AHHH!"The girls shrilled at the unanticipated voice, both reeling to find a shrimpy man standing there. Shailyn clung to Skylar, noticing the man's deficient ears and eyes, his pellucid skin, and his moribund remaining eyes."It's me,
"What did you mean by its time for the blue moon, why did your keep haunting my dreams with it?" Skylar inquired from where she sat on a couch, staring blankly at Dya, in the body of another man, but much better than the last time as this one was more presentable, sitting on the other couch, legs crossed and sipping wine on a glass."You know, this guy was tarnished on his date with his ladylove," Dya let out and Skylar nearly rolled her eyes, realizing how her question was bluntly ignored like it was never asked. "I feel bad for him, his girlfriend drugged his wine. Women can't be trusted" she hissed."Why are speaking for the man or yourself?" Skylar pointed out.The man tilted his head. "Both of us"Shailyn hissed from where she sat at the corner of the room, engrossed in a little book. "Borrow the body of a lady, I don't know if I should address you as he or she!"He smirked.
"WHAT!"Shailyn flared as she wheeled sharply, facing the she-wolf, who was fretting badly with her whole body vibrating. "What in the name of the goddess do you mean, she was talking about someone else""Don't act ignorant Shailyn, you could feel she was talking about me" Skylar trembled. "I have an aura of an Alpha, even stronger""That does not verify anything, Sky!" Shailyn ebbed."It proves everything Shailyn" Dya enunciated and they both felt the lungs in their system being knocked out, Shailyn reeled back."Explain""I bet you can already guess why Skylar's order can't be resisted. It's because she was the child I found dead and planted half of Luna Devika's soul in" there, she finally plummeted the bomb.Silence, pure silence.The silence was almost rackety and suffocating, they could clearly hear the so
Another three days passed, the girls were still in the witch's home. It was like time was crawling as the days felt longer and the nights felt shorter but longer for Skylar actually as once again, the nightmares haunted her and this time, it wasn't a creature with blood, it was a child.A wailing child, crying for help, wanting his mama and papa to save him.Skylar woke up every night from the same dream for the past three days, giving her sleepless and long nights.The ache that she had endured since she was sixteen seemed to increase, the hole in her chest growing wider and wider with every passing minute, her head was always clouded while sadness decided to marry her without her permission.Depression was what she felt a year old when she was still on her quest, she believed to had grown past it, she believed she had overcome the thought of not finding her mate, she thought she had become stronger
"Lay down, Skylar" Dya advised.Skylar bobbed before laying down on the mattress, wearing a singlet and blue shorts. She interlocked her hands on her stomach..."I'm still not sure about this" Shailyn twirled as she watched her friend lay on the bed. It was time to inaugurate the revolution and Shailyn wasn't so confident anymore."I will be fine" Skylar persuaded with a trivial smile, her heart thumping in her chest as she ogled at her comrade. Truth be told, she was also frightened but she had to do it. She would never be the same again, another being would now inhabit her body."What if..."Skylar rapidly pitched in. "I will be fine, nothing will transpire. I will only attain some memories"Dya stepped forward, placing a solacing hand on Shailyn's shoulder. "It's going to be fine as long as no one interrupts""How long is she goi
